Abstract
A work machine featuring a boom and equipped with sensors to detects its rotation angle, along with a bucket attached to the boom and fitted with sensors to detect its tilt angle is disclosed. A controller manages the adjustment of both angles based on operator input. After adjustment, the controller processes sensor data to determine the bucket's carry height relative to a predetermined range. The system displays guidance information on an operator display within the machine's cab, displaying real-time feedback on the bucket's position relative to the predetermined range.
